Oh YIMBY know how to yell. …at the elders, BIPOC & (especially on Housing Twitter) at the women who dare to point out how the blanket zoning deregulation policies lead to their eviction.
Lest we forget head YIMBY putting elders in the hospital pushing #SB827 🧵

Same tactics used by their NIMBY suburban parents/grandparents to oppose affordable housing:
“Supervisor candidate and BARF founder Sonja Trauss moved into the crowd and shook her protest sign in the face of an elderly Chinese man…”

“When folks show you who they are believe them.”
How many times do YIMBY leaders need to be seen 2B believed?
How many more Koch Bros funded researchers do they need to hire?
How many YIMBY comm directors need to claim supporting 100% affordable housing is “not progressive?”

This is a right wing Koch Bros, Big Tech & real estate industry well funded astroturf “movement” started by libertarians selling snake oil - their claims collapse under examination. And they appropriate justice language to push their Robert Moses remaking of all cities. Periodt!

YIMBY minions online r a combo of fools & a good % don’t support any concept of market regulation (including rent control).
They meet a particular demo (aggressive upwardly mobile white male) for a reason - they have & r most to benefit from racialized capitalism.

Their frustration is that the n’hoods their parents/grandparents fled r now “cool” & “upcoming,” yet those at-risk of being pushed out & seeing their area changed, see YIMBY as the colonizers they r.
YIMBY directing their ire on ppl who organize these folks is natural reflex.

What YIMBY allows them to do (especially on Housing Twitter) is express their internalized racism, misogyny, anti-poor, & belief in their inalienable right to dominate wherever they stand.

Racism, cultural erasure & violent urban colonialism under the claim of “abundance” (& other appropriated words) via an economic theory that was decades ago dismissed by the general public & recognized as composed by & for the very rich ppl now funding YIMBY.
